Abstract: A portable grease gun with a dual pressure output capability which can be selectively changed by the user with little effort. A larger diameter plunger is longitudinally coupled to an extension. The larger diameter plunger and its extension are variable in length by manual rotation of the extension relative to the larger diameter plunger. The larger diameter plunger is slidable within a plunger retainer over a limited range and is not free to rotate within the plunger retainer. The larger diameter plunger and the plunger extension have aligned bores through them in which a smaller diameter plunger is slidable. The smaller diameter plunger moves when an actuating lever is operated to compress grease in the grease gun. The larger diameter plunger may be adjusted to remain static during operation of the actuating lever or it may be adjusted to move during all or pan of the compression stroke of the actuating lever.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un signal qui véhicule des informations audio codées et des métadonnées qui peuvent être utilisées pour régler l'intensité et la plage dynamique des informations audio pendant leur reproduction. Si les valeurs des paramètres de ces métadonnées sont établies de manière incorrecte, cela peut entraîner une gêne dans les fluctuations d'intensité pendant la reproduction. Cette invention permet de résoudre ce problème en détectant des valeurs incorrectes dans les paramètres des métadonnées du signal et en remplaçant ces valeurs incorrectes par des valeurs corrigées.

Granted: 2011-05-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne notamment un dispositif efficace de protection des batteries auxiliaires contre les risques de surtension et de surchauffe pour cause de surcharge au moyen d'un dispositif de sécurité simple, qui relie un élément à tension constante présentant une caractéristique de décharge sous forme de surtension et un élément de transition métal-isolant (MIT) présentant une caractéristique de décharge sous forme de surchauffe. Les éléments à tension constante et MIT sont chacun raccordés en parallèle entre un fil de cathode et un fil d'anode de la batterie auxiliaire. Le dispositif de sécurité par contact présente la caractéristique de combiner une caractéristique de décharge/dissipation de la chaleur de l'élément à tension constante et de l'élément MIT, qui réagit immédiatement à la dissipation de la chaleur par l'élément à tension constante, ce qui offre l'avantage de prévenir efficacement une surchauffe du fait que la décharge déclenchée par le dispositif de sécurité par contact en cas de surcharge est fonction de deux facteurs: tension et température.

Abstract: Influenza viruses for use in preparing human vaccines have traditionally been grown on embryonated hen eggs, although more modern techniques grow the virus in mammalian cell culture e.g. on Vero, MDCK or PER.C6 cell lines. The inventor has realised that the conditions used for influenza virus 5 culture can increase the risk that pathogens other than influenza virus may grow in the cell lines and have identified specific contamination risks. Suitable tests can thus be performed during manufacture in order to ensure safety and avoid iatrogenic infections.

Title: Pneumatic multi-weight balancing device
Inventor: GIVENS RAYMOND D
IPC: B66D5/26
Filed: 2007-07-10
Granted: 2014-09-02
Abstract: A load balancing pneumatic manipulator comprising an inflatable reservoir for establishing via an amplifier a pressure within a lift cylinder that is sufficient to balance the weight of an object being lifted. The reservoir is inflated and deflated by inflation and deflation valves, respectively, that may be operated from an operator control center proximal an end effector of the manipulator. The valves may be actuated via pushbuttons or actuated in a mutually exclusively fashion via a neutrally biased reciprocating actuator. The manipulator advantageously allows loads of different weights to be lifted in a semi- automatic fashion with operator involvement to select the load balancing pressure. The manipulator further comprises an air release system that closes a blocking valve in the event of release of the object being lifted and optionally in the event of a loss of air supply pressure. The pressure within the lift cylinder is thereby preserved and can be vented at different rates, depending upon the condition causing closure of the blocking valve.

Title: Surface mount package fault detection apparatus
Inventor: SHEERAN JOHN
IPC: H01L21/58
Filed: 2007-07-26
Granted: 2012-07-17
Abstract: A fault detection apparatus for surface mount packages is provided. The apparatus can include a retainer for releasably securing a circuit board such as a printed circuit board having an electrical component mounted thereon via a ball grid array surface mount package. When mounted within the apparatus, a test signal is applied to the electrical component. The apparatus includes a mechanical actuator, such as a solenoid, for applying a reciprocating force to the circuit board. The reciprocating force can disturb a defect in the ball grid array manifesting as a mechanically unreliable connection at one of the balls where an electrically intermittent connection is occurring. By disturbing the mechanically unreliable connection, the electrically intermittent connection can be caused to fail altogether and thereby reveal the defect as a test signal is carried through the printed circuit board.

Abstract: In a transport stream distribution system, a transmission rate control unit periodically corrects internal clocks on the basis of times generated from a time generation unit to generate the same time stamps as those of a system of a time stamp of four-bytes (TTS) to be added to transport stream (TS) packets by using the corrected clocks. In this state, the system takes in an IP packet output from an IP transmission processing unit, obtains a TTS to be added to an arbitrary TS packet in the IP packet, and compares the TTS with a time stamp generated internally to determine whether both of them coincide with each other or not. And if they coincide with each other, the system takes in a TTS of the next TS packet, and otherwise, the system obtains a difference between a time indicating the TTS and the time indicating the internally generated time stamp to calculate a transmission rate correction value equivalent to the value of the difference, and issues the calculated correction value to the processing unit to correct a transmission rate.
